TIL: what TIL means... (I'm a noob)
<center><img src="http://i.imgur.com/joRmLLp.jpg" /></center>

Till? Oh, you mean TIL? What? 

Yes, I'm a know-nothing-about-reddit noob... please forgive me :P

After I read the new suggestion, I thought "TIL" was some fad thing on reddit. I didn't know what it meant. I thought it had to do with something trending, or news, something recent to be popular on reddit...

Then a post showed up about the iPhone 7 with the "TIL" heading. I checked it out. It was an interested factoid.

Is "TIL" news? It seemed like some popular thing that is a recent discussion topic. Ok, my curiosity got me to look into it more. 

What is this TIL thing?

I thought about what TIL meant. 

TIL... TIL...

After a few seconds I assumed it meant **"today I learned"** as it sounded right... I looked it up on google, and yes indeed. Then I clicked on the reddit link to see what the posts were about.

- "TIL that in 1986, nurse Sandra Clarke could not stay with a patient..."
- "TIL the world's oldest man is celebrating his bar mitzvah at age 113. His first one, 100 years ago, was cancelled due to World War 1."
- "TIL, in Billy Madison Adam Sandler got special permission from the actors and their parents to actually hit the kids with dodgeballs"

So essentially it's anything that people find interesting to learn about. Maybe not some things I care to learn about, but it has potential to get to more people. OK.

This is actually something I can get behind, since that's what I value from the internet the most: a place to learn.

I decided to make a post on "TIL" about how I learned what TIL is, thanks to Steemit. Thanks Steemit and Steemians for bring information here and for introducing me to "TIL" today.

I see potential for this "TIL" thing to get important information for others to learn as well. We can spearhead some critical knowledge about life through "TIL" and popularize it. What do you think? Or has this already been tried and failed? LOL.

Ha, great post!   I felt very similarly to this and posted it myself just a few mins. after you did, I saw in the feed.   You have a huge response to this in under 20 mins, great work!!!    I had some other  thoughts too, would  love your feedback if you do not mind.         The opinion of other more Sr.  members matters to me.

Nice post! Glad you are learning about and enjoying this tag. I think we can have some fun with it and hopefully get more people engaged with the site. It's not a substitute for longer posts: we can have both!

Hehe. Is my post borderline in length? I just looked back at the iPhone7 one, and mine is like 2x longer. No idea what actually is to be tagged as TIL...  just summaries, possibly to links for more info? Is there a text limit? Thanks.

Of course it's fine! I love longer posts myself. And yours is reflective, so you get bonus points. We're not saying everything NEEDS to be short, only that it could be long or short. We've had long on Steemit and we need to bring back some short, too.

Wow you are a far smarter person than I. I had no clue what "TIL" meant. I never even came close to a good guess. I had to have it spelled out for me. But now I know it's going to be a ton of fun!
